You can live your own life and I'll live mine
I will never try to keep you down
And even if I only see you some of the time
I'm just happy when you come around
And even if the sun don't shine
I'm warm enough when you're in these arms of mine
Just as long as we're together
Everything's alright (everything's alright)
Everything's alright (everything's alright)

There is nothing that will overcome the love we share,
Nothing that will break us apart
Girl I gotta always have you in my ear,
Gotta always have you in my heart
Oh baby, your place or mine?
I'll get the music, baby, you bring the wine

Just as long as we're together (just as long as we're together)
Oh girl, there's nothin' better (just as long as we're together)
Just as long as we're together
Everything's alright (everything's alright)
Everything's alright (everything's alright)

Just as long as there is you
I'll be around doin' what you what me to
Just as long as there is me
I'll be around to sing that melody, sugar
Just as long as we're together (everything's alright)
Oh baby, everything's alright
Just as long as we're together (everything's alright)
Oh girl, everything's alright
Just as long as we're together (everything's alright)
Oh girl, everything's alright!
Don't you know there ain't better (everything's alright)
Oh hunt you baby, in the night
